Having become despondent by the increasing devaluation of independent film, the reliance on subsidised funding for filmmakers and the fees producers were being told to command in their budgets, Miranda turned her mind to the new distribution models and how they were starting to offer filmmakers a real chance of IP ownership and a chance of taking home net profit. She became increasingly interested in crowdfunding being a major part of that; it helps to fund and empower a filmmaker without giving any rights away. Indiegogo works with platforms such as VHX who offer filmmakers website build, crowdfunding data gathering, keeping the filmmakers crowd engaged through the prep, production and distribution of the film. VHX offers the filmmaker their own page and they can play streams of their film, which are offered as perks in the crowd funding process. Many films are now crowdfunding (either raising part of production funding, development finance or completion monies) successfully on Indiegogo, and funds raised also sit well with traditional finance and distribution too - as the process by its very nature sets out to test a film in the marketplace, gather audience data, which is extremely valuable to everyone involved. Indiegogo is the only major crowdfunding platform to offer a flexible fee, which means that your hard work does not go to waste - even if you don’t reach your whole goal - and you can take the funding you have raised and contribute it to your film’s budget. Come hear how it's done and how crowdfunding is becoming so important to filmmakers. Please note - until payment is received, reservations are not confirmed.
